GSM Breaks New Ground In Brazil
[Jan 06]

More than half of Brazil?s mobile phone users are connected to GSM networks

Just three and a half years after it first arrived in Brazil, GSM is now used by more than 50% of Brazilian mobile phone users. Of the 86 million people with mobile phones in Latin America?s largest country, more than 44 million are connected to GSM networks, according to the Brazilian regulator Anatel.

The popularity of GSM in Brazil and other developing countries underlines the huge economies of scale enjoyed by the GSM industry, which now serves more than 1.6 billion people worldwide. By spreading the cost of developing new handsets and services across this vast user base, the GSM industry has made mobile phones affordable for many ordinary Brazilians.
